Dual Exhaust?

[seaboltman]

I've always looked at the back of the car and thought that it looked lopsided because of the single muffler. Anyone have a dual exhaust setup (not talking about true dual exhaust, talking about 2 mufflers) that they have pictures of?

[seaboltman]

here is a picture i came up with (not my car, found it on google, and photochoped it)


Opinions?
(and yes if i were to do this it would be functional, not just for show)

how do you like his website address on his hatch ?

needs a 968 type of rear bumper cover to complete it

i think the dual exhaust looks pretty bad-ass.

average joe civic would be impressed (or disheartend, whatever)..

i guess ya can hang one on the other side as a live stand-by



anyone come across a true modded dual exhaust 944?

I was thinking with a modified euro rear valance it would look pretty bad ass

voodoo - true dual exhaust on our cars would be expensive and pointless. Hell my dodge stealth with a V6 3.0L engine didnt even have a use for a true dual exhaust. I have my parts car, i may just run down to Mr. Tire with the muffler and have them do some fabrication on a nice dual out.

You will be hindering access to everything your new muffler covers, make sure it is easy to drop when you have it fabbed up. Also, there will be more turns in the exhaust now, so it certainly won't improve performance. If the look is that important to you, that the inconvenience and lack of functionality don't matter, go for it. But you and the car would probably be better off if the cash were invested in tires, or a radiator flush.

[seaboltman]

there wont be much more in the way of turns, all there would be added would be a splitter where the muffler detaches, and then the two mufflers would branch off from there. Certainly the original muffler would not be changed but by a few inches or so. As I said in an earlier post, the muffler would be functional not just for show.

seabolt man, the only problem is making it fit, the spare tire well may have to go, and have you looked to see where your gas tank,fuel lines, and fuel pump are located recently?
not that it will be impossible persay, but i wouldn't want something that can reach 500 degrees right below my fuel pump, gas tank and fuel lines.

[seaboltman]

ya, i really havent thought it through at all, just was sitting here yesterday and thought it might be cool. I was planning on taking a look at what was around later today or tommorow, and see if it is doable.

[Macfreak007]

not to say its not doable, but your gonna need ALOT of fabrication. Relocating the fuel pump and lines may not be necxessary, but proper insulation will definately be. Boxing them in somehow is what you need to do.

A true dual exhaust would be a complete waste on any 4-cylinder car. The engines simply cannot flow enough air for a true dual exhaust to be any benefit at all unless you're using 1/2 inch diameter piping or something.

The only thing a true dual exhaust would do is lower the exhaust gas velocity so much that you'd lose noticeable low-end torque without making any gain at high RPM since a single exhaust already flows enough air at high RPM.

A fake dual exhaust for aesthetics is one thing, as long as you know that it's just for aesthetics and not a performance addition. A true dual exhaust is nothing but a waste of time and money.

Also, finding a way to hang even a fake dual exhaust will be difficult since there really isn't any room for it under the car.

one word, unnecessary

[SoCal Driver]

I like lots of exhaust!!!!

[ronin]

lmao! I see your photochop skills have reached new heights. hell, while you're at it, why not make the whole rear lights from end to end?

I like the 4 additionnal taillights too...

[ronin]

only two additional

[livewirevoodoo]

I was counting each square...

silly boy

[Porsche-O-Phile]

Damn!

Two mufflers would only add weight. No need. Just get one good one and suprise the Civic idiots with how good one can be made to sound. A 2.5" with Borla on an n/a sounds mighty fine. Better than those ugly fart cans any day!
